[Acer Aspire 1410/1810t/1810tz] Timeline Tweaks (2)

Just curious, does CPUZ report DDR2-800 in the Memory tab (not SPD)?

 

Here is a screenshot:

 

You mean after flashing the original modules to 800mhz?

This is what I see on my memory tab in CPUZ

EDIT: Meh, der_mali beat me to it

 

hello
i have 1810t
i install all latest driver for each material on site specifics
i dont take driver on acer
its good ? or acer optimise their driver but they are old
thanks

 

What would you do with all that ram?

 

Because my Nvidia Chipset still runs it at 667MHZ so I wanted to know was it the RAM or the Chipset.
I am convinced it is the chipset. Thanks.

 

What nvidia chipset? 1410/1810 series don't use nvidia.

 

You should be fine with those manufacturer's drivers. The Acer drivers aren't optimized/customized afaik.

I think weinter has no 1410/1810t

 

Currently have the laptop disassembled, tried the undervolt and overclock mod.

Tried testing the results... no boot. Noticed that a small amount of solder had made its way between the "flying leg" and the trace, essentially shorting out r146 and r147.

Quitting for the night, and hoping that when I correct the problem tomorrow that no permanent damage has been done.

 

thanks
i think acer optimized their drivers :-(

 

Hello all, I've just recently bought a 1410 with the SU2300 and successfully installed XP. But... I have 2 problems so far:

1. The Fn + screen brightness key is not working
2. Bluetooth driver failed to detect my bluetooth device.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post but if anyone has a fix, please help ^_^

edit: mistakenly wrote vista instead of XP >.<

 

Volume rendering, if you really want to know.

 

@nevide
Did you install Acer LaunchManager, yet?

 

yes I did. Everything other Fn keys work... Only the screen brightness key doesn't work...

 

@nevide
I don't know, what's causing this. In Vista/Win7 it should work.

 

I have upgrade my 1810t from 2gb to 4gb ram. Windows 7 x86 shows 4gb ram (2.9gb usable). Does it make sense to upgrade to windows 7x64?

 

Is that really feasible on a machine like this? I'd assume u'd need lots of cpu power and fast hardware 3d graphics.

 

Yes. No reason not to.

 

@der mali: Thank you very much for posting the info on flashing the stock RAM. I have upgraded the single stick found in my 1410, and have installed a second 2GB PC26400 stick. It was very nice only having to order one new RAM stick to max out the system with the fastest RAM!

 

Just want to update on my Fn+brightness key problem:

updating the 1410 BIOS to version 3120 solves the problem. ^_^

lovin the 1410

 

Do you know if Intel Vt is still enabled in this firmware version?

 

Yes it is.

 

No not really, but with preprocessed data you can display the three dimensional data placed in true spatial position inside an virtual cube. Very handy to make assumptions in the field. Though I need (lots of) RAM for loading the volume.

 

flashed my stock ram to 800mhz as well, as described by mali. thanks,you rock!

could you provide me the link once more to the additional ram you aquired for I unfortunately have misplaced it, thanks again.

what is the latest bios version for the 1810T now and where do I get it?
the acer-support-europe is not helpful in that, because it does not list the 1810T.
thanks people.

 

Bios 3120 you can find it for example on acer.nl service&support download driver link....

 

thanks postbusjj, I laid my hands on the bios v3120. inside the zipfolder only Winflash_ZH7_3120_x64.exe resp. Winflash_ZH7_3120_x86.exe; i.e. nothing for 32bit. Should the conclusion be that this biosversion is unsuitable for vista 32bit / w7 32bit?

 

Winflash_ZH7_3120_x64.exe = to be used on 64-bit Windows
Winflash_ZH7_3120_x86.exe = to be used on 32-bit Windows

 

forgive my ignorance, but thanks indeed.
x86 was somewhat confusing to me.

 

so now lets look for a 2nd 2GB ram@800 MHz;
I love it!
keep it up, tweakers!

 

my trial of microsoft word 2007 that came with the computer is over and now i have no word.

does anyone know where i can download and install it using a usb or something (cause theres no cd drive)

 

@svanburen

 

Hello, can someone confirm that this laptop can play 1080p mkv files up to 13Mpbs without lag? I experience lags with my video files.. i thought this machine was able to handle ALL 1080p videos..

MPC HC + DXVA

 

thanks for that, once more.

pity just I have to see that the price for 2GB samsung 800MHz has risen quite a bit...

something else, about I just am able to guess:

my stock-ram is now flashed to 800 MHz and Typhoonburner says it is M470T5663QZ3-CF7 now.

On ebay I found Samsung 2GB@800MHz with the following partnumbers:
M470T6464DZ3-CE6
M470T5663EH3-CF7
M470T5669AZ0-CE6

Any ideas whether any of those would match mine, or are those numbers irrelevant all together?

 

The CF7 is already 800MHz so I would buy that one. I don't know if the other CE6 modules can be flashed to 800MHz. It's always the best to buy a real 800MHz module because the price should be about the same.

 

For those of us getting the newer ones with the 667 installed...how hard is it to flash those two modules to 800? Is the 50 dollars a worth upgrade for the different cpu?

 

I doubt piracy is permitted on these forums.

 

Can anyone who has successfully overclocked to 1.7GHz try to run Battlefield 2 if you have access to a copy? I run my 1410 at stock CPU speed and it tries to start (screen blanks, flashes) then dumps back to desktop. I'm not saavy enough or have the tools to try the mod myself (although I'd love to have it OC'd.)

I know the 4500MHD is capable, as it ran on my Lenovo with Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz and GMA 4500MHD just fine.

I am thinking it may do a CPU check and reject it because of the reported CPU speed. There's no error message or log file that says why it won't start. Minimum spec is a 1.7GHz Athlon or Pentium 4, which I know this CPU exceeds.

 

@der_mali, or anyone that has done the OC mod.

I lost the r146 resistor . Is it 10k?

 

Found 2 webshops in the US offering the 2GB@800MHz with the exact part-ID I already have:
M470T4663QZ3-CF7
I'll try to lay my hands on one of those.

OK, as I benefitted significantly from this forum, without unfortunately myself being very electronically savvy, here I'd like to contribute my little obulus, to the sticker-problem that is:

they usually are best removable by warming up the glue with a hairdryer. warm it up moderately not to melt the device.
valid for 99.9% of sticker-nuisances.
not valid for epoxy- and cyanoacrylate-glues. here you go.

 

I've been procrastinating on homework and decided to spend time doing someing useful... I've figured out a way to lower the minimum brightness on Acer Aspire 1410/1810T
Actually, it could be done on almost ANY laptop

Currently, the available brightness levels on the laptop are 10 to 100% in 10% increments. I added 1%, 3%, 5% and 7% levels.
I've done it by extracting DSDT table, decompiling from AML to ASL, following ACPI Specification adding a few more brightness level values in _BCL list and patching _BCM method to accept brightness level values below 10%. I've also ended up fixing the DSDT warning messages that I got on recompile.
Then I added my custom DSDT table to Ubuntu and viola! It works! Here is a comparison between default lowest (10%) and new lowest (1%):

I must say that using laptop in the dark with brightness at 3-5% is so much easier on the eyes...

I remember someone writing here on forums that it is possible to load custom DSDT table in Windows, but I can't remember where I've seen it. It is 4.30AM and I'm not looking for it

Please note: If you are going to use this DSDT table make sure you are using 3120 BIOS, otherwise it might not work. At your own risk

You can download original decompiled DSDT, fixed DSDT, and compiled DSDT here

and the funny thing is that it took me only 2 hours and I had absolutely NO IDEA what I was doing If only all that energy was spent on my univ homework

 

If anyone wants to do more dsdt modding I have attached a usefull guide + program to this post.

You can look in the TZ scope for the fan code. You may be able to change the fan speeds.

 

Do you know how to load a fixed dsdt in Windows?

 

yes, use the Microsoft ASL Compiler.

Just read the guide in the zip I attached.

 

Yes, it's 10k. Anything from 1k-10k will work, though.

@prikolchik
Good work!

 

Okay, now I'm confused. I just noticed that BatteryBar says that I'm around 8000mW usage at windows power save mode cooperating with RMclock (1200mhz @ 0.875V), and the lcd brightness set to lowest. I've checked all the advanced options in the power save mode and all are set at maximum battery save. If i disable the wireless with the hardware switch i get down to ~7000mW, and maybe dips down to 6500mW, but not lower than that....So how the hell can you get 5500mW with the wlan enabled?

 

@pellen
You should open Task Manager and check if something is sucking CPU cycles. I did so much tweaking and removing processes etc. that I can't recall any more. When I get my Win7 update I will write down everything this time.

 

Whoa...I just closed Firefox, even though it didn't use more than ~5-10% of the CPU, but the batteryconsumption immediately dropped down to 5500-6000mW. I couldn't dream that it would be such a huuuge difference. Problem solved i guess

 

@pellen
I use the latest Firefox and have installed Adblock plus, disabled Cache and disabled prefetch.

 

@der_mali
I too use the latest version, but I'm also an tabs addict Using 17 tabs atm. I think that could be the problem maybe?

 

@pellen
lol
Yes,that may be it
